| | Metroid: Zero Mission (gba: 2004): Reviews |
 | | A masterpiece...This is the epitome of Metroid gameplay. | | | Rarely are games so well judged and lovingly crafted as this, and we defy anyone playing Metroid: Zero Mission not to lament the fact that brand new 2D gems like this could become a rare occurrence when the PSP moves hand-helds into 3D-ville. | | | After the straight ports we're used to from Nintendo and their GBA development, Metroid: Zero Mission is a breath of fresh air (even for a "remake"), but it shows there's still a way to go. |

| | Encyclopedia: Metroid: Zero Mission |
| | This game was made as a retelling of the story of the original Metroid game for NES, and most players will recognise the general layout as being very similar. | | | The original Metroid soundtrack was one of the first low-key game soundtracks aimed and building atmosphere without the intrusive loops of the likes of Super Mario Bros; the move to an orchestral and more continuous score is therefore an unexpected stylistic departure for the remake, and has not been universally accepted by fans. | | | Using a GBA to GBA game link cable, this game can link to Metroid Fusion, and all ending images from Fusion (including the Japanese endings from other difficulties) will be available for view on the Zero Mission cartridge. |

| | Scientists decide to call this being a "Metroid" and the mere thought of it being in the hands of pirates is utterly disturbing. | | | Metroid has four different endings that vary depending on how much time the player took to finish. | | | The game is present as an unlockable bonus in Metroid Prime. |

| | Metroid Fusion was the last game in the series to be released, and its controls were more limiting than they could have been - although it took some players a little while to understand how. | | | The best way to describe how Metroid: Zero Mission plays would be to say that it's the original game done in a Super Metroid style. | | | Basically, the game's highly structured, linear design required that the player do things in order, which kind of screwed up the fun that many players had after mastering previous games in the series. |

| | Metroid: Zero Mission Review |
| | Seeing that the next two games slated for the series (being Metroid Prime: Echoes and Metroid: Hunters for the DS) are both 3D shooters in the vein of Prime, it seems that the big N is giving the old formula a rest, and I can’t help but agree that its for the best. | | | Super Metroid showed us that the map was all that was needed to guide the player in such a large gameworld, and I have no idea why Nintendo decided to take it one step further. | | | Like its predecessors, it makes for a fun game, but after playing it I see what Sakamoto was trying to get at. |

| | GamersMark - Metroid: Zero Mission Review |
| | But from a different perspective, Zero Mission is definitely a game that should be played by all those in search of a great gaming experience. | | | This is where Metroid: Zero Mission stops being the great Metroid game it once seemed to be and turns into Splinter Cell knock-off, with Samus hiding from Space Pirates, sometimes even in the shadows, in order to find her way out. | | | With the Hard difficulty, at times, Zero Mission brings back memories of the Classic NES Metroid, and kindly enough, included in Zero Mission is perfectly emulated version of the original Metroid, a game that is a true test of one’s gaming skill. |

| | Metroid: Zero Mission > Review |
| | Metroid: Zero Mission is a re-imagining of the original game. | | | However, after a mere few minutes with Zero Mission it’ll be obvious to see that for the most part, this is an entirely new game, and one that seems to have taken some of the good ideas from just about every game in the series. | | | Some of the level layout is vaguely reminiscent of the original game, and a few of the original game’s eccentricities are still in place (Samus starts the game with a gun that can’t shoot farther than a few feet in front of her). |

| | NTSC-uk review > GameBoy Advance > Metroid Zero Mission |
| | In Zero Mission we are faced with a similar state of affairs, but the guiding hands of the Chozo statues cuts down massively on the actual game time. | | | In both Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, the player was subjected to an array of not-so-subtle prompts on where they should go and what they should be doing. | | | Whilst this may illicit multiple cries of “heresy!” from the lofty pulpits of gamerdom, it is also worth pointing out that Zero Mission is an utterly fantastic game. |

| | Metroid: Zero Mission - GameBoy Advance Review |
| | Zero Mission, like any Metroid game, can be beaten in roughly four hours, or less than two if you really rush, with different endings based on completion time and number of items found. | | | Metroid (NES) was, all told, a fairly repetitive game, consisting of unnervingly similar horizontal and vertical caverns, without much logical reason. | | | A treat for the senses with fantastic gameplay, a rather strong story, given the nature of the series, and plenty of alien-blasting action, it’s going to be tough to find a better GBA game in 2004. |

| | Zero Mission is proudly being touted as an all-new Metroid game. | | | You can expect Zero Mission to offer lots of missile and energy pod hunting, just like the old games, and be on the lookout for some familiar locations and critters too. | | | That's not to say that the game design sensibilities are radically different from other games in the series, but rather Zero Mission goes a lot faster and deeper into the original experience. |

| | Review - Metroid: Zero Mission // Game Boy Advance /// Eurogamer |
| | Significantly better than the previous GBA outing, Metroid Fusion, which had a tendency to rush you through the game with a highly obtrusive storytelling mechanism, Zero Mission is hugely enjoyable - which brings us to the core problem with the game, namely that there simply isn't enough of it. | | | In fact, Zero Mission makes a point of rewarding you for re-exploring old areas with the new abilities you've learned, and often leaves bonuses such as extra missile capacity and energy tanks lying around for you to discover in earlier parts of the game once you've unlocked more of Samus' abilities. | | | The basics of the first Metroid remain intact, but they've been brought up to date in an artful fashion to create a game that echoes the classic Super Metroid as much as it does the original, playing like a more modern title. |

| | With all the new bosses and changes to game play zero mission is more than just a remake. | | | The music and mission of this game holds true to the original and will make you remember the classic like it was 1987 all over again... | | | Sure, Super Metroid on SNES took the concept and made it better, and Metroid Fusion was a fantastic follow-up on the Game Boy Advance, but when push comes to shove the original is where my vote will always go. |

| | Zero Mission is another lavishly detailed platform-puzzle outing, but also yet another game that plays just like a slightly tweaked Super Metroid. | | | Zero Mission is technically not a completely original game. | | | The gameplay is classic Metroid, only with the modern amenities (diagonal aiming, ducking) previously featured in Super and Fusion. |

| | Most of the time, Nintendo is pretty spot-on when it comes to providing their fans with the games they love to play, the way they love to play them, and Metroid: Zero Mission is no exception at all. | | | Metroid: Zero Mission does have multiple endings, but to get the best ones you're going to have to explore and gather as many items as you can. | | | We were very appreciative of the new environments we could explore, and the fact that items not in the NES game made it into Zero Mission (like the grappling arm from Metroid Fusion) is a great bonus. |

| | Many of the familiar Metroid power-ups make an appearance in Zero Mission; the morph ball, bombs, energy tank, long beam, ice beam, and missile tank were all seen in the video. | | | Although it was only shown in non-playable video form at E3, Nintendo's Metroid Zero Mission for the Game Boy Advance earned its fair share of buzz. | | | It appears that, as usual, Samus starts with a power suit that lacks most of its advanced utilities and must find the power-ups by exploring through the various areas of the game. |
